Hello, I have a problem to loose data on two Expansion units (StorageTek 2501) connected to the above mentioned controller - due to power up first the controller and after it the 2 trays. This is exact the reverse order it should be done - not giving the chance for the controller to...

hola ffolks: i looked everywhere online as well as in SPC-3 from T10/T11. fyi, T10 has now restricted access to T10 drafts for members only. i found that the same drafts are available from T11. 8-) ^Google^ is your magical friend. ;-) so, if an Array says that it provides Implicit ALUA support...

Now I can see a change coming. I know a guy, who is going into business by himself. He has built (with little help) a box under his desk with 4 Magny Cours, 128 GB RAM and 28 TB of raid (plus a SSD of 256 GB). This would be sufficient to run small projects. He claimed it has faster...

NewerTech make a product named Voyager Q to interface SATA drives to a host by USB, Firewire, or eSATA. This is sometimes called a "drive toaster" because of the way you can mount a drive vertically into the enclosure without the need for any tray. Does anyone make something similar for...

I am trying to find an 8bay (minimum) storage tower that doesn't take up a ton of space *and* doesn't cost a fortune. The best option would be a minimally sized self contained box like a via box I read about (but can't find for sale) (http://www.mswhs.com/2009/10/via-nsd-7800- review/) The second...

Hi, If you have an extra firmware tape, I'd be interested in purchasing it. Our E10000 is stuck at the initial bootup window and won't complete the bootup. The support personal said the firmware is corrupt and needs to have the firmware reloaded. They won't sell me the firmware tape unless I...

I'm trying to debug a problem between two products that both claim to support SES-2 over I2C. I'm somewhat familiar with SES-2 commands, and I'm familiar with I2C and can capture I2C transactions on a logic analyzer, but I can't find the standard that defines how SES-2 commands are encapsulated for...
